[APML]: 2 Stage Rotary Pump

[Ian Turner <skyshooter@mindspring.com>]

To All Hypering Folks


While in a appliance repair store I saw a box in the corner marked Deep 
Vacum Pump.

On close inspection I found out the following info.

3 CFM
2 stage
Vacum to 25 microns/gas ballast
direct drive 
light weight at 24 lbs


The companies name is 
J/B industries Inc.
Aurora, IL 600507

Retail Price is $389

When I was looking for one of these units the cheapest I found was $489 
for a Gast pump. This product seem to have the right specs. Has anyone 
heard of this unit?

I'm shifting most of my work to CCDs nowday's but this seems like a nice 
vacum pump to hyper with.
